,THE ARRANGEMENT
tl,e Mind Different
Diflerent Authors
Qf idem n
Thorle By
some liben Them to Floor In a
SacK Winers Llke Shoes In a Store.
When reading works treating of
tljQ mind teachers no doubt, have
observed that different men have
vory different theories in regard to
mental opportunities. Sometimes it
bsppens that it is hard to tell just
wha? theory the author has. Among
the different theories apparently
maintained by writers on. the sub
ject may be enumerated the follow
ing three :
1. That the ideas or ooncepts or
whatever any one may be pleased to
call them are packed in the head
like flour in a sack.
2. That the ideas are arranged in
the brain like shoes in the mer
chant's, drawer, number threes at
cne end and number elevens at the
other, with the other numbers bes
tween . Some extend this theory so
eg to include the arrangement of
ideas in the brain, like goods on the
shelves in a store, dry goods in one
nart. notions in another and hard-
were in a third.
3. That the ideas are not in the
brain at all but reside on, the sur
face like grasshoppers and other ins
eecta on a newly mown meadow .
In regard lb these theories it is
vary likely that the first is the old"
est. Those teachers who work in
accordancejwith its underlying- prin
ciples usually do a great deal of
pounding and shaking, like a miller
who ehakts and pounds the sack
in his endeavor to get the full nine
tyeight pounds of flour in it . The
heads of the children are poundod
and shaken so that they may be
filled with ideas. In many instances
the theory has seemed to work well,
but after having been subj scted to
trial for a long time it is found to
be attended with one danger . The
sack mav burst and Emu tne con-
tents.
Those who teach in. accordance
with the principles involved in the
second theory are very particular
to have each idea laid away in its
proper piece. According to this
theory when the mind wants an
idea, it runs ' around in the brains
hunting for the one wanted like the
clerk who runs around hunting for
-some article called for by a custo
mer. It is"" natural that those who
advocate this theory shoall be af
fiicted with mental weariness after
a dav of active business. The mind
having had to run here and there
incessantly during the day naturally
becomes tired and demands rest .
One of the worst features connect
ed with this theory is that the mind
very often takes up the wrong idea
and what is still worse is very fre
qaontly unable to find jast what it
is. looking lor Of course with those
who limit the arrangement of the
ideas In the brain to that of shoes in
the drawer, have a much more simple
task in finding what they want, the
only danger here being that the
wrong number may be thrown, put,
a number seven probably when a
number ten is wanted, in which
case it is evident that there happens
a misfit. . It will be noticed that
according to this theory , the ideas
are not in the mind, at all but ar9
laid away in the brain like goods on
the shelves in a store.
In addition to the dangers already
mentioned there ia another connect"
ed with storing ideas according to.
Uhis theory. - If the foundation ia
not very substantial the mind may
be thrown off its balance by having
the weight ' unequally distributed.
